'Evening and thanks for the add :)
Newbie here, planning to go solo with my two young pooches in/around SW Western Australia to start with.
Currently in a lovely house but will get a small (14' to 16' pop-top, still looking at brands), will do some short trips before buying a smaller house/unit to rent out, then... tally ho!
That's the theory, anyway! :)
G'day NannyJam, and welcome to the forum. Plenty of good advice and great folks here. Like the chief says - good to have a plan, but best to keep it flexible as well
A warm welcome from me also, and I hope that there are many happy road trips ahead of you
On the question of traveling with animals, below are my observation, which are not intended to show any disrespect to anyone, as we traveled with a cat, until very recently
I see on my travels many people with dogs, both large and small It is important to keep the dogs on a lead, (dogs not on leads seem to get into fights with other dogs, which result in expensive vet visits) If your dogs are on leads, then at least you can pull them away from an aggressive dog, and then give that other dog a kick to keep it away
It is important to clean up after your dogs, if you wish to stay friendly with the other travelers in the camp
National Parks in the South West of WA, do not allow animals, and the rangers will move you on, but there are plenty of other places to stay
WikiCamps Australia, a one off (less than $10), is a good investment to see where the camps free/low cost/paid are Camps Australia Wide book, book 9 comes out in February, (I think), is another good book to see where the camps free/low cost/paid are
Hi Nannyjam. Welcome to GN. There was a recent discussion about small vans in the 'hints and Tips' sections recently. It's still going on so you may like to join in that one. Not sure if anyone has told you about the search mechanism above. You might find a number of older threads that are helpful in choosing your van.
And it's welcome from us two 2 nanny jam good advice Obote so I won't confuse you any more but just reinforce the usefulness of the search button near the top off the page .
